Dear Friends,
This Sabbath I would like to address a few issues regarding the problems in
India and Pakistan and the flow on from those problems.
The current hot spot in world news is India and Pakistan and the states of Jammu and Kashmir. These areas have been the subject of Fundamentalist Hindu and Islamic activity and terrorism since partition in 1947. It is assumed that the location of the armed forces of both states amounting to approximately one million men in that area might see the conflict confined there. The fact of the nuclear armaments and the range of the rockets being within 300 miles or 500 odd kilometers might see the conflict further confined to that extended area.
My friends this abomination that makes desolate will far exceed that area unless we can stop it from escalating to total war. Our people in India report to me that the conflict between Hindu and Muslim is spreading all over India. Christian Missionaries including Roman Catholics are leaving. One of our coordinators was foolish enough to have a US flag on his bicycle and the bike was vandalised. So this is not just a problem between Indian and Pakistani. This is seen as part of the wider global conflict.
What is going to happen? How is this going to unfold? What is the War of the Fifth Trumpet all about? In that war people will pray to die and cannot do so. From the description in Revelation 9:1-11 it is about some form of chemical warfare and resultant conflict that affects a large amount of people. How vulnerable is India to this threat and how vulnerable are we all to the side effects.
The problem is not just in direct conflict. There are no front lines any more as we understood them. The targets of modern warfare involve the entire means of production and energy for the war effort. In addition to the areas in dispute of Jammu and Kashmir we see the nuclear power stations in India are targets to be blown up. Bombings are now undertaken on a regular basis. The targets are in South India as well. Targets are in such areas as Madras or Chennai, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Mysore, and Hyderabad. What happens if the nuclear facilities are damaged? Who is at risk and from what are they at risk?
When radioactive material is released through either deliberate activity or by damage to sabotage or natural calamity the result is often the same. Those people down wind are the most effected. However the atmospheric winds are often such that they circumnavigate the world in belts. The radioactive material will affect people as follows. Contaminated water as steam or vapour will drift on to pastures and people. Thyroid diseases will ensue and cancers and iodine type deficiencies will occur. Bone and other organ cancers will follow. Diseases caused by contaminants will follow such as Hashimoto's disease and Grave's disease. Many of the victims will become autoimmune. Dust will drift into the atmosphere and follow the wind currents and belts into Asia and then across the Pacific into Alaska and Canada and the USA. The effects of the radioactivity will affect Vegans and Vegetarians firstly. The Hindus have this aberration among them but it is mitigated by some of their dietary procedures more so that in the Vegans of the West. Their lack of Vitamin B12 and animal fatty tissue will have weakened their Myelin coatings to their nervous system and they will succumb well before the normal red meat eating western populace to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease and other disorders of the nervous system. Their degeneration of the brain mass and synapses will make them susceptible to mental disorders before the normal populace. The aluminium feeders (soy) they consume in the West will make the mental problems worse still. The contaminations will also result in Toxic Acquired Porphyria (TAP) or Gulf War Syndrome in the general populace, which will damage their liver and immune systems and interfere with their brain activity producing insanity, epileptic seizures and ultimately coma.
The results just published on the effects of the handling of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State USA attempts to deny the affects of nuclear pollution resulting in these disorders and among those downwind of the reactors. However, private studies appear to show otherwise and Washington has one of the highest rates of MS in the USA. None will have taken the necessary food trial evaluations to isolate the nexus between vitamin B12 and fatty tissue deficiencies and the impact of radiation exposure on the brain and nervous system. Chernobyl has shown us that pollution released from the reactors was carried downwind and entered the food chain. The links need to be researched more
The radiation effects on cancers and disease will be horrific as we saw with Chernobyl (meaning "Wormwood" in the Russian). Levels of Strontium 90 and radiation associated problems in the bones of the young and old will increase dramatically around the world.
The activities in Iraq will escalate also and we can expect more of these attacks and nuclear and biochemical activities.
There is no peace. The leaders want war and will proceed to that end. The demons drive them on to our extinction.
As David said: "Deliver my Soul, oh Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue… Woe is me that I sojourn in Mesech; That I dwell in the tents of Kedar! My soul hath long dwelt with him that hates peace. I am for peace but when I speak they are for war" (Ps. 120:2, 5-7). This is history and now it is being fulfilled in our eyes as prophecy.
Be strong and do not be destroyed by winds of the doctrines of demons. (Study Vegetarianism and the Bible (No. 183)). Keep your bodies strong and your spirit in tune with the Lord that you might survive the Last Days as a servant of the Living God.
Love one another and be ready to finish the work that God has sent us.
Work hard my friends. Work while there is still light and we are able to work.
